Ooo I know how you feel! Once I tried Google Maps to walk to a mall in the city and ended up walking one big circle back to where I started! But it was also my fault because I wasn't (still am not) good at reading maps. Hahah! I am quite hopeless with directions.
I actually never use Google Maps myself; I reckon the hardest bit – and I’ve noticed this quite a lot with that friend too – is that it often starts with: ‘Go to this street, blah blah blah’, but if there aren’t any street signs, it doesn’t get you very far. On top of that, you often don’t know which way is north, east, south or west, so you can’t even head in that direction. The only thing to do is walk a bit first and then see which way that stupid little arrow is pointing; if it’s the wrong way, you just have to walk the other way. But even then, there are places that Google Maps can’t find, even if you’re standing right in front of them. Incidentally, the Dutch Roadside Assistance service is no different; even if you’re standing right under a street sign, they’ll blithely claim that the street doesn’t exist and leave you stranded.

Yup yup.. and yes you are right, we don't know north south east west in the first place haha. And the worst is when there are 2 or 3 roads in the same direction at first and slowly splits, then you do not know which road you are suppose to take in the first place and usually I would end up taking the wrong one. And yes, roads that no longer exist haha. Sometimes I just decide to whack it and I somewhat believe that all roads lead to somewhere that can lead back to somewhere that I am familiar with... haha.

I think it’s also true that all roads lead to the same point – or perhaps it’s just something you recognise. We often just walk in a circle, and that’s how most places are laid out: there’s a centre somewhere, and the roads radiate out from it like sunbeams, with other roads criss-crossing between them. That Google car drives around everywhere too, and a lot of the footage is quite old. I reckon the average sat-nav, which is actually quite outdated, is still more up to date – at least when I use it. It works perfectly, and at least I don’t have to worry about Google seeing what I’m up to. I believe they’ve cut down a whole lot of forests in Finland again to make way for new data centres, for
Sebenarnya bukan tak bisa membaca peta yang di tunjukan google,tapi terkadang google nya yang sok tahu dan memberikan informasi yang salah, kawan ku pernah juga pengalaman dengan google, dia malah mutar ke kuburan, mana malam Jumat lagi, hujan rintik-rintik menambah suasana mengerikan,ini semua ulah Mbah google yang nakal 🤣🤣🤣
